Performance & Off-Road Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness is powered by a 2.5L H-4 direct injection, DOHC engine with 180HP paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT. Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD works in tandem with an Off-Road Ride Suspension to maintain continuous traction across rain, snow, and gravel. Drivers can tailor throttle response and power delivery using the SI-DRIVE Selectable Drivetrain Mode and Selectable Terrain Modes, while Hill Descent Control assists on steep downgrades. An Underbody Skid Plate guards essential components when navigating rough terrain, and an engine oil cooler helps manage temperatures during sustained engine effort. Despite its rugged chassis enhancements, this crossover achieves an efficient EPA-estimated 24 MPG city and 28 MPG highway.
Advanced Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cabin, modern technology keeps every passenger entertained and connected. The dashboard features the Subaru 11.6in Multimedia Navigation System complete with high-resolution touchscreen control and voice activation. Wireless smart device integration allows seamless access via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while front Wireless Smart Device Charging keeps handheld items powered up without clutter. Audio is delivered through a premium 11-speaker Harman/Kardon Speaker System backed by a 576W amplifier. Safety technology is equally comprehensive, featuring EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, Reverse Automatic Braking, and an Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass and HomeLink. To make your purchase process convenient, you can apply for financing online from the comfort of home.
